vintage. Living and working in the UK since 1987. Resigned from teaching in July 2007 to pursue a life of metaphoric garret living. I contracted a love of reading in the womb and the writing bug from my maternal grandfather. Currently working with Lewisham Young Women's Project (a charity for young women) and Inkhead (creating the writers of the future).

I write about the good and bad angels we have sitting on each shoulder, about the strange creatures lurking at the periphery, about life and about death.
